Bermuda vs Netherlands Highlights And Cricket Score 36th Match - T20 Commentary
A big total on the board posted. The batsmen have done the job and now it's over to the Dutch bowlers to achieve a big win and boost the net run-rate. Do join us in a short while for the chase.
A quick interview with the Dutch openers. Ben Cooper says that he loves batting along side Max. O'Dowd then tells that they were not bothered about the run rate and just went with the flow. Reckons that it's their best batting show until now. On frowning after seeing Ryan ten Doeschate coming out to bat, Ben smiles and replies that he's a very quick runner between the wickets and pushes you hard. Max opines that pace off the ball and cliched T20 bowling - that's all their bowlers need to do.
It was a very ordinary bowling show by Bermuda. They lacked quality to create any pressure and leaked runs at a very quick rate. Their skipper rotated the bowlers but none managed to hold one end. Bermuda now have their backs to the wall and will have to bat out of their skins to overhaul this gigantic target.
Smashing show by the Orange team! They have amassed a total in excess of 200 for the first time in this format and this won't do any harm to their run-rate. Opting to bat, Ben Cooper and Max O'Dowd raised a 123-run stand to set the platform. They scored 58 each in quick time and then the batsmen who followed pressed on the accelerator. Ryan ten Doeschate and Colin Ackermann batted with a lot of intensity and pumped the Dutch total past the 200-run mark.

Pitch report - One part of the stadium is really short and the batsmen would like to target that. Towards the longer side, there are plenty of chances for 2s and 3s. It's a fresh pitch but it has similar features like the last few games. It would provide good value for shots. Par score here is 180.

Warm welcome everyone for Match 36 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier between Bermuda and Netherlands in Dubai. The Dutch team is coming off a defeat in their last match against PNG and that also halted their 3-match winning streak. With two games left, the Netherlands side would hope to win both and keep their hopes alive for straight qualification to the first group stage of the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup. Bermuda, on the other hand, are the team yet to open their account and have got knocked out already. They would be aiming to sign off on a high and be the party-poopers for the Orange team. Can they overpower the mighty Netherlands? Stay with us to find out...
That's all from this game. Netherlands have consolidated their position in the points table. Bermuda, on the other hand, end their sorry campaign with a hefty defeat. Do join us in a short while at 1930 local (1530 GMT) for the match between Namibia and Singapore. Cheers!
Netherlands skipper, Pieter Seelaar says that winning the game was more important than the net run rate. Tells that Max O'Dowd and Ben Cooper batted superbly and then Ryan ten Doeschate and Colin Ackermann provided the desired finish. Adds that against PNG they knew what went wrong and praises his team for bouncing back and playing like the way they did today. Mentions that he's watching matches of all groups and states that the margin of error is very low. He's feeling confident before facing Scotland and tells that they are fully prepared for the big game on Sunday.
Bermuda skipper, Rodney Trott says that it was a great experience for his players in spite of not winning any match. Tells that the other teams deal with the pressure a little better than them. Hopes to go back to the drawing board and come back as a better team. Thanks all the fans who came from Bermuda to support them.
Colin Ackermann is the Man of the Match for his all-round effort! Says that the openers set it up beautifully for him. Adds that they wanted to win the game first and foremost and they were not thinking about the net run rate. Opines that it was a good strip for batting as the ball was coming on quicker to the bat as compared to the ICC Academy ground.
It was a clinical performance from Netherlands to bounce back from their defeat in the last match. The openers provided a powerful start and then the batsmen who followed capitalized to take the score past the 200-run mark. The bowlers also put up an excellent show and never allowed any sniff to Bermuda. They kept on picking wickets at regular intervals and achieved a big win for the Dutch team. Everyone executed the plan superbly and Paul van Meekeren with a 3-wicket haul was the pick of the bowlers.
A listless batting performance by Bermuda and they close their campaign with a hefty defeat. The writing was on the wall once the Dutch team posted a total above 200. A good start was the need of the hour for Bermuda but it never came and they started to crumble right from the beginning. There wasn't much fight offered, apart from a cameo by Kamau Leverock, as the Orange team bowled tidily and achieved a massive win which will boost their net run-rate.
